Meeting Point

Meet us outside of the tourist office

Our Mottaret ski school is the perfect place for skiers and snowboarders wanting to develop their skills. We offer a great range of ski lessons tailored to your ability.

The friendly alpine hamlet of Mottaret welcomes visitors and families with superb skiing conditions, excellent accommodation and facilities, and unrivalled access to the slopes in the Meribèl valley and the wider Three Valleys region: the largest linked ski area in the world. It is the perfect spot to develop your skiing and build confidence, whatever your level and experience.

With its high altitude (1,750-2,950m), our ski school in Mottaret guarantees plenty of quality snow for skiers and snowboarders throughout the season. Being at the summit of the valley also puts it in the best position for you to take full advantage of the 150km of ski slopes within the whole valley.

Beginners are well catered for with excellent nursery slopes to learn how to ski, special ZEN areas (quieter areas of slopes for those needing to develop their confidence) and a long flat green run leading to the centre of the village. Improvers / intermediate skiers have plenty of pistes to choose from, as do more advanced skiers looking for the challenge of black runs and off-piste skiing. Mottaret offers great skiing alongside breathtaking views, and a relaxed village atmosphere perfect for après-ski.

Whether booking snowboarding or private lessons with our expert instructors, or group lessons – adults or children – we guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

“Two awesome instructors – Paul and Matt – took care of all of us children and adults with varying levels of skiing ability. They are very professional and helpful, with lots of laughs and a few tears :-/ we’re much better skiers now and more confident to explore the Three Valleys.

Thanks for much for a great week in Mottaret.
